Eric I hit the plug with a hair dryer after each color. You will see the paint dry as you wave the hair dryer over it. I use the hair dryer on high and heat setting. Takes maybe 1 minute after each color.

I never thought of doing that. I have a heat gun which I can try in low(er) heat mode. Thank you for the tip.

it's exacly what i do..I do it after scaling as well...24 hours after painting they get a coat of lacquer...24 after that epoxy... if they were more durable.. they be iron clad...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
